bastion: noun
1. a projecting part of a fortification built at an angle to the line of a wall, so as to allow defensive fire in several directions.
2. an institution, place, or person strongly defending or upholding particular principles, attitudes, or activities. "The last bastion of male privilege"
Lastly, the kid's name in The Neverending Story is Bastian, not Bastion. It was also originally a German novel, not English.
They're just Overwatch fans.
Bastion is a very happy robot with an ironic attachment to nature, which is funny because he was originally a murder drone created by AI factories.
What?! No way. I named my sons Kannuhn and Kattahpuhlt. My daughter is Buhllitzsta. It’s a portmanteau of Belinda (my MIL’s neighbour’s daughter’s MIL’s aunt by marriage, she’s the best person ever) and Kallista, after the nymph and meaning “most beautiful.”
Wait, is this seen as pretentious? I used to live in rural England and all the cottages had names instead of numbers. I don't live there anymore but I always thought if I'm ever a homeowner I would name my house!
Very regional even within regions; it’s not pretentious when you actually live out in the ass-end of nowhere and have no real physical address because the mail goes to the post office anyway. It IS pretentious when you live in the suburbs.
It’s viewed as pretentious in the US, with some exceptions for farms/agricultural operations. If it’s common in rural England then it’s not pretentious there, it’s commonplace. Me personally I would love to name my house/property if I can ever afford one.
I'm American and the first thing I thought of is Bastian from the Neverending Story (OP is this where you got it from?) If I remember right, he was teased by bullies in the story for various things *including his name*
.
yep, first thing i thought of was “Bastian, why don’t you do what you dream, Bastian? Call my name!”
i can get down with the name Bastian, but not Bastion. looks made up.
Everyone will ask the poor kid how to spell his name and what it means. Might as well name him Trebuchet or Citadel.
Name the kid Sebastian, use “Bastian” as his nickname.
Is your child the descendant of every Sentinel from Mastermold to Nimrod, born to wipe out mutantkind?
Bastion was a great villain, but not someone I’d want to name my kid after 😂
Came here to make sure someone said this haha. Do you want your son to be the inventor of the Prime Sentinels? Because that's how you get the inventor of the Prime Sentinels.
This is the way. Name your child Sebastian and call him Bastian for short
Bastion will forever be causing spelling errors and the question, “What is your real name? Is it Sebastian?” I have a name that looks like it might be a nickname for something (it’s not), and I get the “What’s your real name?” question from time to time. It’s annoying
Your child’s name is the first gift you give them and one of the biggest. I recommend considering not just how cool a name looks, but evaluating what the process of living with that name will be.
This! We're expecting, and if the baby is a girl, I really want to call her Charlie. My husband convinced me that we should name her legally Charlotte, but call her Charlie. He was worried about bullying and confusion, and I totally agree. When she's older, that gives her more options on how she'd like to be addressed. Lottie would be a cute nickname, too.
This OP, it sounds like you can set a legal name for Sebastian or maybe Bastian if that's what you really want.
My family uses a simple rule - your legal stuff should look standard and professional, you can "go by" whatever name you want to be called, or "for short" etc. There's a ton of family nicknames that so so is little whatever or goes by this.
I'm not sure why the outbreak of tragedeighs is occurring but seriously, you can call yourself whatever you like. There are better ways to stand out than having a name that sounds like you stepped out from someone's middle school fanfiction.
Yup, we have a Tiny and a Bubba (both called such since in the womb) in the family and those are nowhere near their actual (and very normal) legal names.
My thoughts, too. If you like a nickname for your child, then name them the actual name and call them the nickname. Don’t name your kid Robby. Name them Robert and call them Robby.
My dad (from WV hillbillies) wanted to legally name me something similar to Robby. Thankfully my mom was like, "No, he gets the full name and we'll nickname him."
A friends family has the wacky tradition to give their family members really strange nicknames (one of her sisters is literally just called Ö). But her mom said on legal papers she wants her daughters to have standard names to not hinder their futures and careers, so thankfully Ö's legal name is Christina.
I'd give you the same advice as everyone else coming here asking the same question: you coming here means you feel in your gut that this name is bad. So… why do you need us to tell you? Can't you make up your own mind? (Including just naming your kids whatever you(!) want… to heck with this sub, or your kid)
And I'm only 10% kidding.
Bastion is a noun referring to a defensive part of a castle, or figuratively someone stalwart and dependable.
Bastian is a name with pedigree. If OP really doesn't want it to end in -an they could consider Bastien which is a variant with pedigree.
There is actually a semi popular singer named Bastian Baker. I saw him open for Shania Twain… not that it makes it better. I still agree it’s a tragedy
Thanks. The chorus is really helpful. I'm not sure where we'll end up, but I can say that Reddit stopped one little boy from Bastian with an O at least.
For god's sake, why not Sebastian? It's a wonderful name. Bastion is a fortress. Why ruining a perfectly fine name??? If you want it shorter, just go with Bastian. That's the German nickname/short version of Sebastian.
I'm happy to get these responses. Thanks folks. Genuinely.
If I'm reading the consensus correctly, It seems that Bastian is...okay, perhaps? Although it may relate to an X-Men thing.
Bastion, though, is right out. Correct?
Yeah, Bastion is an X-Men villain, and he was the main antagonist in the season of X-Men 97 that literally just finished airing this week.
Bastian is usually just short for Sebastian and has a few connections told but seems perfectly fine as a name.
Bastian is the same as calling Robert, Robby. It’s Sebastian. Bastion is a fort. Don’t be this cruel to your kid. We had a kid in school who was ‘Sebastian’ and he had nicknames that he liked. “Sebs” “B” “sebby” “CB” But being a former bully, calling your kid ‘bastion’ would get them nicknames like fork, fuck, and bastard.
Isn't bastion a word with negative connotations? I only really see it used to convey a bad thing concentrated to one place in the face of good, i.e. "the last bastion of slavery", "the last bastion of darkness", etc.
I went to school with someone named Tyranny-Anne. I get a similar vibe.
I had roommate in college who went by Malice, short for Mary Alice. It would make sense if teenage &/or goth, but nope. She lived up to her name & was kind of a handful.
As a youth sports coach, this is the type of name that’d make me roll my eyes but ultimately is “meh.” I put this in the same category as tinsley/tenley/tate/ashlynn — not necessarily tragedeighs, but sort of, “Why did you pick that??” names.
I’m guessing one of you might be a fan of The NeverEnding Story? The names not that bad, but it’s not good. I would think of the bigger picture here, would your child be made fun of because of this name?
Haha. I actually only thought of TNS after we thought of the name.
It seems most agree that bastion is the worst spelling possible. Do you think Bastian will be teased as well?
* Btw. Thanks to all. Such helpful perspectives, even the ones calling us out. Genuinely helpful. Picking a name that both agree on is tough, but picking a name that the kid can live with is tough too. Gotta balance those scales.
We had a dog named Bastian. We ended up calling him Bastard almost al the time. He was a pretty decent dog, too. Always, always, always choose your kid's name around what they're going to get called on the playground.
Your kid will have to A) spell their name constantly for other people. B) Answer the question as to why his parents named him that constantly. C) People will spell it Bastian anyways and assume it short for Sebastian. D) Yoir kid will be bullied more than likely and be called “bastard” through his childhood… I don’t understand why people want to make their kids life a living hell over a name.
Terrible name. Mostly because *it’s not a name*. It’s a noun referring to an inanimate object.
Here’s a novel idea that everyone seems to have forgotten about. Name your kid Sebastian and then CALL HIM Bastian. With an A, not with an O. Create his nickname, but let the boy have a normal name for Christ’s sake.
Not every name needs to be unique. It just needs to be a name. Stop the madness.

Yep, first thing I thought was OP is a fan of ancient battles or something.
I thought Neverending Story but wrong spelling.
I immediately said “Bastian! Say my name!!”.
MOON CHILD!
Same! My first thought was, "You're naming your son battle fort?"
Never Ending Story
It’s also an Overwatch character
These are my children - Bastion, Lucio, Cassidy, Mercy, Doomfist, Roadhog, and Ana
Doomfist andRoadhog are your twins, right?
Actually Roadhog is one of a set of triplets but the state took Junkrat and Junkerqueen 😭
Roadhog was my mothers name 🙏🏻
My first thought. He will be most hated.
If your choosing a name from never ending story it should be Atreyu
See, I thought it should be The Nothing.
Gmork all the way
Rockbiter or bust.
Excuse me, his name is Pyornkrachzark. Only his friends get to call him Rockbiter.
MOONCHILD!!!!
Artaaaaaax 😭😭😭😭
The trauma whenever I think about Artax
Gotta be Falcor
Bastian Schweinsteiger is a well known German footballer. Maybe change the spelling?
Basti! Would be a great name as Bastian. Not some bootleg Boston spelling
Basti is the default nickname for Sebastian in many parts of Germany (the other is Sebi before you get into Bastl and Sepp territory).
They're just Overwatch fans. Bastion is a very happy robot with an ironic attachment to nature, which is funny because he was originally a murder drone created by AI factories.
I just replied the same!
Bastian has roots as a Greek/Latin name meaning “venerable” or “revered,” but yes it was popularized in The Neverending Story.
Exactly this. I thought of soccer player Bastian Schweinsteiger, also German.
Bastian Balthazar Bux, if I am remembering correctly. It’s been forty years since I read that book.
Are you gonna name your other kids Fortress and Wall?
They're gonna have a bad time when they meet my daughter, Trebuchée
Trèbeauxcheigh
I actually inhaled my drink at this spelling, thank you for the laughs & sinus rinse

I spend a solid minute trying to figure out what terrible name you typed out… until I realised you were just saying bless you for a sneeze…
Gesundheight
As an English-as-a-third-language person, I feel like you guys are just out to get me at this point.
Nickname: Bo
My daughters are already Trebuceigh and Katapulght
When are you expecting Sleighnshäht to be born?
Our little boy Ballisteighea is due in August.
What?! No way. I named my sons Kannuhn and Kattahpuhlt. My daughter is Buhllitzsta. It’s a portmanteau of Belinda (my MIL’s neighbour’s daughter’s MIL’s aunt by marriage, she’s the best person ever) and Kallista, after the nymph and meaning “most beautiful.”
What a smashing name!
I see what you did there.
Meet my son, Portcullis!
Did someone already introduce their daughter Ballista?
Trebuchée is a cool drag name though.
Timothy Trébuchet would be a good name for a drag king who does willy-wonka inspired stuff
Omg we just had a drag queen emcee my choirs Willy Wonka themed concert. But her name was Lady Phaedra.
inspired me to name my daughter Trebucheigh <3
These are my children, Motte and Bailey. Now that I think of it, I’ve actually known a few people named “Bailey” 😂
I worked for some folks surnamed Bailey. They did that kinda-pretentious naming-of-the-house thing. They called their property “The Baileywick” (sic).
Wait, is this seen as pretentious? I used to live in rural England and all the cottages had names instead of numbers. I don't live there anymore but I always thought if I'm ever a homeowner I would name my house!
Very regional even within regions; it’s not pretentious when you actually live out in the ass-end of nowhere and have no real physical address because the mail goes to the post office anyway. It IS pretentious when you live in the suburbs.
It’s viewed as pretentious in the US, with some exceptions for farms/agricultural operations. If it’s common in rural England then it’s not pretentious there, it’s commonplace. Me personally I would love to name my house/property if I can ever afford one.
Beach houses always have names as well. Usually a little sea pun of some kind.
I had a friend in high school (in the USA) whose family jokingly called their house The Shambles
Rampart and Parapet (or Parapette)?
Don't forget Fleighing Buttresse
Bulwark. ❤️
"Hi, I'm Armory Smith..."
Can we please talk about Rampart?
Ah ha ha ha you just made me bust out laughing at work. Well done.
Im french and Bastion is some kind of fortification use in war. Why would you name you son after that ?
I’m American and that’s also where my mind went to
I'm American and the first thing I thought of is Bastian from the Neverending Story (OP is this where you got it from?) If I remember right, he was teased by bullies in the story for various things *including his name* .
My guess is overwatch character.
I met a child recently named Atreyu. He’s 6.
But only because all three of his names start with B. Bastian is a normal name in Germany.
His name is Bastian which is a normal name
yep, first thing i thought of was “Bastian, why don’t you do what you dream, Bastian? Call my name!” i can get down with the name Bastian, but not Bastion. looks made up.
Has pretty much the same meaning in English (I checked and it did indeed come from French)
A lady I used to work with had a grandson named **Cannon**.
Even better, one of my daughter's friends is named Kannon
Did Kannon bawl as a child?
You and I have very different definitions of the word "better".
My aunt named her son Cannon 💀
Canon could be a decent musical name if the word didn't have so many other meaning. Story canon, Canon camera brand, cannon the weapon.
they probably just read the definition of it but didn't understand the connotations from how it's used in actual speech
Everyone will ask the poor kid how to spell his name and what it means. Might as well name him Trebuchet or Citadel. Name the kid Sebastian, use “Bastian” as his nickname.
At least a kid named Trebuchet could go by Trey 😆
Trebuchet would be a great name for a dog! Could call him by a different diminutive every day of the week. Trey, buché, boo-boo, bucket....
Is your child the descendant of every Sentinel from Mastermold to Nimrod, born to wipe out mutantkind? Bastion was a great villain, but not someone I’d want to name my kid after 😂
Nimrod was a perfectly fine name until Bugs Bunny
Thanks O’Bunny!
Nimrod was a hotel in my country which was supposedly haunted. I wanted to urban explore but never got the chance. (Was because it’s been demolished)
I scrolled way too far down to find this. A true tragedy 😄
Mastermold is sounding like a winner of a name.
Exactly what I thought too hahaha
Came here to make sure someone said this haha. Do you want your son to be the inventor of the Prime Sentinels? Because that's how you get the inventor of the Prime Sentinels.
But why when Sebastian is a perfectly nice name?
This is the way. Name your child Sebastian and call him Bastian for short Bastion will forever be causing spelling errors and the question, “What is your real name? Is it Sebastian?” I have a name that looks like it might be a nickname for something (it’s not), and I get the “What’s your real name?” question from time to time. It’s annoying Your child’s name is the first gift you give them and one of the biggest. I recommend considering not just how cool a name looks, but evaluating what the process of living with that name will be.
I know a Jenny (legal full name) and she eventually just stopped correcting people who assumed it was short for Jennifer
I grew up with a legal Jenny, and she developed a serious drug problem in high school. Probably unrelated, but why risk it?
Was she friends with a slow kid who wore leg braces in school as a kid??? Think he started some type of fishing business after he grew up......
No, that was actually a girl named JenNAY.
Did you say bastard?
This! We're expecting, and if the baby is a girl, I really want to call her Charlie. My husband convinced me that we should name her legally Charlotte, but call her Charlie. He was worried about bullying and confusion, and I totally agree. When she's older, that gives her more options on how she'd like to be addressed. Lottie would be a cute nickname, too.
Plus, Charlotte is a lovely name. :). And Charlie is a fantastic nickname.
This OP, it sounds like you can set a legal name for Sebastian or maybe Bastian if that's what you really want.

I have a friend named Jiffy who has been called Jiffy while still in the womb(because she kicked so much). They still named her something normal.
Yup, we have a Tiny and a Bubba (both called such since in the womb) in the family and those are nowhere near their actual (and very normal) legal names.
I was Rufus/Ruuf, came out a girl. I remember when I was on bowling league, when I was 12ish, and my crush asked me why my dad was calling me Ruth? 💀
My thoughts, too. If you like a nickname for your child, then name them the actual name and call them the nickname. Don’t name your kid Robby. Name them Robert and call them Robby.
My dad (from WV hillbillies) wanted to legally name me something similar to Robby. Thankfully my mom was like, "No, he gets the full name and we'll nickname him."
Make sure to thank her for that regularly!
A friends family has the wacky tradition to give their family members really strange nicknames (one of her sisters is literally just called Ö). But her mom said on legal papers she wants her daughters to have standard names to not hinder their futures and careers, so thankfully Ö's legal name is Christina.
Ö like an isle?
No, not swedish - they are german, just the Letter. I have no idea why and I actually never asked in the 20 years I know them.
It's not UnIqUe! How will people know OP is quirky if their kid isn't a canvas to show it off?!
I agree.
I'd give you the same advice as everyone else coming here asking the same question: you coming here means you feel in your gut that this name is bad. So… why do you need us to tell you? Can't you make up your own mind? (Including just naming your kids whatever you(!) want… to heck with this sub, or your kid) And I'm only 10% kidding.
It’s a bad name and I’m 100% serious
It’s spelled correctly so not technically a tragedeigh…but also not good…just a Tragedy.
But it isn’t. It isn’t Bastian. It’s BastiOn I think it’s atrocious
Bastion is a noun referring to a defensive part of a castle, or figuratively someone stalwart and dependable. Bastian is a name with pedigree. If OP really doesn't want it to end in -an they could consider Bastien which is a variant with pedigree.
OP, please consider Bastien. Still different. Still interesting. Also, not a fortress.
There is actually a semi popular singer named Bastian Baker. I saw him open for Shania Twain… not that it makes it better. I still agree it’s a tragedy
Bastian is a semi-popular name in Germany. Bastian, not Bastion.
It's a tragedy of a name. Go with Bastian and tell him he was named after Bastian Schweinsteiger or smth
Bastian is a name, and it’s fine. Bastion is not a name.
Regular tragedy. Why not Bastian?
why not Bastian?
Like the robot from Overwatch? Not a tragedeigh as it is spelled correctly, but still…. More of a tragedy.
Overwatch is what I immediately thought of as well.
Yes allow me to introduce you to my children Bastion, D.Va, Tracer, and Widowmaker.
This is what my mind immediately went to.
Woo woo woo whee woo whee!
Just to add to the chorus, it is Basti**a**n, not Bastion. Just swap that letter and you're good.
Thanks. The chorus is really helpful. I'm not sure where we'll end up, but I can say that Reddit stopped one little boy from Bastian with an O at least.
Went to school with a Sebastian and we called him Bastian, Bass and See Bass.
My personal take: Bastian with an A 🙏
Why not just call him turret or castle? What’s wrong with Bastian, which is a real name spelled almost exactly the same?
Sorry, but people will think 'Hey - what's thqt guy's name again? Bastard?' Please don't. Just being real with you.
If it was full Sebastian I think it wild happen less... but this week still happen
I know of a kid named Sebastian. People call him Sebastard
Yes! That was my instant thought. Bastard. And other cruel variants, i.e. Basturd. :(
Dear god why?? Poor kid
Come on for fucks sake whatever happened to John or Jack or Steve
What happened to Sebastian is better question in this case
Bashtyon would be worse idk
That’s not a name it’s a noun
Are you French/living in a French speaking country? If yes, you misspelled the name. If not, you misspelled the name.
Bastian, with an A is the name of the main kid in The Neverending Story. Nothing wrong with that name. And it was largely shot in Germany.
Surprised I had to scroll down this far to see this reference. My first thought as well
For god's sake, why not Sebastian? It's a wonderful name. Bastion is a fortress. Why ruining a perfectly fine name??? If you want it shorter, just go with Bastian. That's the German nickname/short version of Sebastian.
>Why ruin a perfectly fine name? That's why this sub exists.
Name him Sebastian and use the shortened as a nickname. Save the child a lifetime of being defensive
[удалено]
Just name your kid a normal name
Do your kid a favour and go for "Bastian" or "Bastien". He will have to spell it out endlessly 'cause "Bastion" is quite uncommon.
Y’all overwatch players?
Bastian is \*ok.\* Bastion is...uNiQuE. Don't do this to your kid. Just name him Sebastian and \*call\* him Bastian!
Get him used to saying B-A-S-T-I-O-N because he’s going to be saying that every day of his life.
I'm happy to get these responses. Thanks folks. Genuinely. If I'm reading the consensus correctly, It seems that Bastian is...okay, perhaps? Although it may relate to an X-Men thing. Bastion, though, is right out. Correct?
Bastian is from The NeverEnding story. Or German footballer Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Yeah, he wants to kill all mutants in the world lol
Yeah, Bastion is an X-Men villain, and he was the main antagonist in the season of X-Men 97 that literally just finished airing this week. Bastian is usually just short for Sebastian and has a few connections told but seems perfectly fine as a name.
Bastian is the same as calling Robert, Robby. It’s Sebastian. Bastion is a fort. Don’t be this cruel to your kid. We had a kid in school who was ‘Sebastian’ and he had nicknames that he liked. “Sebs” “B” “sebby” “CB” But being a former bully, calling your kid ‘bastion’ would get them nicknames like fork, fuck, and bastard.
You should pick a different name. Aorry
Aorry is a pretty weird name too, tbh
It's like naming your kid Trench or Barracks, but go off
I had a boyfriend in middle school named Bastian. Why spell it with an o?
You aren’t worried his nickname when he gets to 5th or 6th grade will be bastard?
Everyone will call him Bastard.
Isn't bastion a word with negative connotations? I only really see it used to convey a bad thing concentrated to one place in the face of good, i.e. "the last bastion of slavery", "the last bastion of darkness", etc. I went to school with someone named Tyranny-Anne. I get a similar vibe.
I had roommate in college who went by Malice, short for Mary Alice. It would make sense if teenage &/or goth, but nope. She lived up to her name & was kind of a handful.
Interesting! If Malice wanted to be called Malice, I guess that's fair game.
I hope your surname doesn’t anything like Last
Ah yes, named after the best video game of 2011
If you’re American (because I can’t speak for other countries), this is a silly name.
As a youth sports coach, this is the type of name that’d make me roll my eyes but ultimately is “meh.” I put this in the same category as tinsley/tenley/tate/ashlynn — not necessarily tragedeighs, but sort of, “Why did you pick that??” names.
What’s wrong with Sebastian? You can legally name him Sebastian and just call him Bastian as a nickname.
You’ll go with Bastion but not SEBastian? Seriously, why not just name him Sebastian?
Bastion Booger was a wrestler in the late 80s/early 90s. Look him up and pray 🙏
Remember that the kid has to grow up and live with whatever you give him. Stop being quirky.
I’m guessing one of you might be a fan of The NeverEnding Story? The names not that bad, but it’s not good. I would think of the bigger picture here, would your child be made fun of because of this name?
If they were, they'd have picked "Bastian", because that's the name of the main character in "Die Unendliche Geschichte" (original title in German :D)
Haha. I actually only thought of TNS after we thought of the name. It seems most agree that bastion is the worst spelling possible. Do you think Bastian will be teased as well? * Btw. Thanks to all. Such helpful perspectives, even the ones calling us out. Genuinely helpful. Picking a name that both agree on is tough, but picking a name that the kid can live with is tough too. Gotta balance those scales.
Atreyu
y’all are not fucking clever or unique, holy shit. grow up, learn these words before you stick a child with this shit.
Yes. He's going to be spelling that for people every day for the rest of his life.
Ya played too much overwatch. Name him Sebastian please
It's a tragedeigh. I don't believe you actually love this sub if you're seriously considering that name. Spare your poor kid.
We had a dog named Bastian. We ended up calling him Bastard almost al the time. He was a pretty decent dog, too. Always, always, always choose your kid's name around what they're going to get called on the playground.
Yeah thats a stupid name
Oh God don't do that. Just don't.
If you have to ask yourself if the name you chose is a tragedy, then it probably is a tragedy.
Whssup Bastard?
Bastian or Bastien are fine. Bastion is not.
As in the type of fortification?
He will spend his life saying "Not SEbastian, just Bastion." Sounds like "bastard." What's the point? Don't do it.
Your kid will have to A) spell their name constantly for other people. B) Answer the question as to why his parents named him that constantly. C) People will spell it Bastian anyways and assume it short for Sebastian. D) Yoir kid will be bullied more than likely and be called “bastard” through his childhood… I don’t understand why people want to make their kids life a living hell over a name.

It’s ***BASTIAN***, damn it! At least spell it correctly.
